This was a unique vehicle, it was a Navigator/part limousine. The owner told me it was a very rare edition. This was the first one I had seen. Now, down to business. This was a full interior and exterior detail. The leather seats were horrible, very grimey and dirty but the rest of the interior was not too bad. The exterior needed a little work, but it turned out pretty good. My process:
Vacuumed interior
Cleaned carpet and floor mats with Aztec extractor and Megs All purpose
Scrubbed all leather seats with Megs all purpose and treated with Lexol
Basic wipe down with M40
Exterior:
Clayed with "Hi Tech Magna Sponge" Auto Geek please start selling this product, its a real time saver for me!
M105 wool
M205 foam
Ultrafine 3m pad
LSP: Black Fire Wet Diamond sealant topped with 915 carnauba

Yeah, those seats were pretty nasty, it took me a awhile to scrub that grime off completely. And according to the owner it was an option from Lincoln. He told me the name of this special edition navigator, but I forgot what it was called. But I do remember him saying it was built in Missouri, so maybe some special limo company installs the interior for Lincoln.

Good work, did some digging on those sponges and will be ordering one myself.. The camry is in need of a serious detail, so I might include this!

Yeah, I really like those sponges, not sure how other detailers like it. It can be supposedly used 30 times. Its alot quicker, for me to use than normal clay bars. No kneeding or folding to a clean side. It rinses off if you drop it. The sponge holds alot of water to aid in lubrication. IMO its a good product, that needs to be on the Auto Geek product line(hint, hint)
